Secondary Magazine - Issue 102

Welcome to Issue 102 of the Secondary Magazine (incorporating FE)

So how has the new term gone so far? Have you kept those new resolutions generated in the summer holidays? This issue has an Editorial and A resource for the classroom which might appeal specifically to NQTs and those working with NQTs in mathematics, but also includes features for all as the new term settles down.

Focus on...Research
Have you read any mathematics education research recently? In this issue, the latest informal proceedings from BSRLM are highlighted, alongside other ways to access research into mathematics education.

5 things to do
The NCETM’s role in preparing teachers and FE lecturers to teach GCSE post-16, Ofsted, NRICH at Key Stage 5, Twitter chats, and octopi all feature in this issue.

Tales from the classroom
So how do you cope when something that you do intuitively has to change? In this Tale, we consider the value of repeating topics to develop understanding whilst trying to ride a bike that has its back brake ‘wired’ on the right.
